Every time I attend a Chinese wedding, I see that the couple’s guests are restricted to their closest friends. Instead, the majority of the guests are relatives and long lost relatives of their parents. And what do they do? They just sit and nibble on their food and frown when the couple’s friends become rowdy with their “YAM SENG!” cheers.
Some say that it is out of respect to invite ALL your relatives to the wedding. Parents want to invite them to announce the close of a chapter in their life, that their son or daughter is getting married and it is an occasion to celebrate.
Some say that it depends who is footing the bill. If parents are paying for the bulk of it, they are entitled to command the guest list. The couple will only be limited to 5-8 tables.
My mum said a wedding is a good reason for long lost relatives to meet up and to rekindle the family ties.
But it IS the couple’s wedding day, right, so why can’t they have all their friends celebrate with them, too?
Looks like you have to be filthy rich so you can invite all your friends!

Cake or Bum
Wahahaha! Sorry about the topic. I initially wanted to talk about bums, but as you can see from the picture here, you have a clearer view of the cakes and not bum. Sigh.
What is your favourite cake at Secret Recipe? Mine is the Chocolate Banana, sometimes the Oreo Cheesecake or Chocolate Indulgence.
Bums. I have a girl friend who enjoys checking out mens’ bums. I don’t know how she does it, but when she does, she’ll nudge me and say, “Hey, check out that guy’s bum. Sexayyyy…..”
And I’d look to find out just how sexy it is, but disappointed that it looks normal to me. Like seriously, how do you judge a man’s bum? How it fills out his pants? How round it is? How they connect to muscular thighs?
And how to describe a man’s bum to be CUTE? o.O I am terribly inexperienced with mens’ bums! All I know is that it cannot wobble when he walks, because then it’s a sign of a flabby bum and in need of toning, or it can’t be too round that his pants looks too tight from the back view. ;D
I mean, I’d have to grab his bum cheek and give it a squeeze to find out how firm it is, then I can say, “MMMM SEXAY!”
*drools*
*goes off to squeeze frank_omatic’s bum*
Cook With Me: Vegetable Soup
I thought I’d share with you something a friend of my friend sent to her, a recipe for vegetable soup, which my friend refers to as the V8 vegetable soup because one of its ingredients requires v8 vegetable juice.
You do know what v8 vegetable juice is, right?
The ingredients needed: carrots, celery, cabbage, yellow onions, green or red peppers (capsicum), diced tomatoes and v8 vegetable juice. That’s the original recipe. I excluded peppers here, though.
Put in all the diced and sliced vegetables in a big pot. I used: 3 carrots, 1 yellow onion, 3 celery sticks and some cabbage.
Next, add the can of diced tomatoes and 2 cans of v8 vegetable juice. When I say 2 cans, it’s that Coke-can size, alright? (Hehe, I’m bad at descriptions. Obviously I cannot be a chef!)
Then, add water so that the vegetables are drowned. ;D
Boil til vegetables are soft, or about 2 hours.
Wife or Child?
Sometimes I read stories that make me cry. The ones where a woman is having a difficult labour, and the doctor would inform the husband, “Your wife may die when she delivers your baby.” Then there would be decisions to make, and one of them could be, “Who would you want us to save?”
o.O
When these are romance novels, of course I’d cry when the wife dies and the husband ends up loving the child very much. Then you read that the husband misses his wife terribly, you know, being soulmates and all.
What a tricky situation. Not everyone can have everything.
But if you were the husband, would you make the same choice, or let go of the child, so that you can keep your wife? After all, you can always adopt, right?
I asked a friend about this, and he strongly said, “Of course I’d want my wife!!! How am I supposed to continue moving into the future without her??”
Even I was touched. ;P
Spice Up!
“Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what you want, what you really really want,
So, tell me what you want, what you really really want!”
The latest news in entertainment is that the Spice Girls have reunited for a concert tour this year! Remember Posh, Scary, Sporty, Ginger and Baby Spice? Yep, they are back as a group!

Bah Kut Teh at Atria, DJ
One day, lost and hungry, my friend and I decided to try out this place for Bah Kut Teh (Pork Bone Tea) at Damansara Jaya’s Atria area. When we first arrived, we thought the place was rather deserted with only a table of patrons.
We are rather clueless when it comes to night places for good Bah Kut Teh, hence our choice for this new establishment.
Starving, we ordered the mixed claypot for 2, which had more vegetables than pieces of meat.
The Good Listener
A friend of mine has always been praised as a very good listener. Most of our friends just love to confide in her. Apparently she is so understanding that sometimes the guys want to confide in her, too – as we all know, not many guys reveal their matters of the heart.
So I asked her what was her secret – has she always wanted to be Aunt Agony or a counselor or just born with a good pair of ears?
She didn’t want to tell me her secret. She just said that, “Not everyone wants a solution to their problem. They know how they want their problems solved, but they still want to vent out their frustration or anger.”
-__-
What boring advice, indeed. ;P
So the other day, I observed her as a friend of ours chatted to her about her relationship problems.
I felt so cheated! Hehehe.
First, she would look at the speaker in the eyes, and would nod her head accordingly at the right time. But I noticed at times there was a faraway look in her eyes – could her mind have been wandering? ;P
Then, she would often take sips of her drink at appropriate intervals, and say to the speaker, “Well, I’m sure you’ll be alright. You’re just angry, right? You’ll figure out what to do when it’s the right time….”
Bloody hell. She’s just a shoulder to cry on, actually…… I mean, I can do that, too!
Just pretend to listen. ;D
Say You Love Me!
A cousin and I were talking over coffee the other day. She told me that once, her boyfriend got mad at her for not saying “I Love You” in return. She always say, “Yeah, same here…” in reply. ;D
She and the boyfriend even got into an argument once!
“WHY CAN’T YOU JUST SAY IT TO ME???” the boyfriend yelled at her.
I told her I had the same problem before as I wasn’t comfortable with saying “Love You” to end each phone call with boyfriends. Don’t know why!
But it’s not fair, isn’t it, when we have informed the boyfriends that we are not comfortable saying those 3 words as easily as calling them “darling” or “honey”, yet we are “forced” to say them after a while. ;D
Once, I was very sleepy and one boyfriend said, “Love You…” to end our telephone conversation. I automatically said, “Thank you!”
He wasn’t too happy about it. ;D
Then again, we’d probably throw tantrums and sulk and assume that our boyfriends don’t love us enough when they don’t tell us they love us. ;D Boys can never win!
Massage by the Blind
Tried out this place at Damansara Utama for a cheap massage. A friend once told me that being massaged by the blind is very good, they can actually relax your knots and nerves!
They charge RM35 for an hour, for the body massage.
Sex on a Plane
[screenshot of http://www.milehighaz.com]
A businessman from Arizona started this business of chartering couples on a 90-minute flight for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries or for nothing!
They fly around in the Arizona sky while couples take in the scenery and champagne and possibly try out their fantasy of having sex on a plane! *Wink wink wink wink*
Membership for the club is US$150 per annum, or for just $750, you can have that flight. [source]
Niceeeee, having to fulfill this fantasy, don’t you think? Get your partner to dress up as a pilot or stewardess at the same time. Woooooooooo ;D
I wonder if I’ll get to try it one day. I wanna be ‘plane naughty’, too!
